Air conditioning is sexist

Well I have to say in that case 22 degrees is not cold - with high humidity it can be downright unpleasant. Definitely starting to enter t-shirt territory.

If they honestly are referring to 22 degrees as "cold" and "freezing", then, well, sucks to be them.

Yes. It's a shame that they're so ill, but that shouldn't give them the right to make other people suffer.

I sometimes wonder if V was closer to the truth than people think. Lizards have very little ability to regulate their body temperature and generate heat internally, so they require a much higher temperature. Perhaps people who think that 22C is as cold as 0C are in fact lizards.

You forgot about the time when they said pollution was racist too.

Remember when BLM tresspassed on the runway at London city airport. And instead of removing them quickly they let them have a party on the runway for over 6 hours while news helicopters were trying to maximise exposure and try to get as many black people to believe the fake news propaganda that pollution is racist.

Resist the propaganda people.
 
Can't have my heating above 18*C at home. That's comfortable birthday suit temperature for me .. I'd be dozing off at 22 degrees in work!
 
It's just what you get used to. I used to live in a house where It was kept at around 21 degrees all the time and this was comfortable. I then moved to an old stone house and it doesnt get to 21 degrees in here unless its warmer outside. The house is now around 14 degrees downstairs and I am perfectly comfortable. My other half was the same, she used to feel the cold and a year or so of living here she is now used to the temperatures.

(we have oil fired heating, which is on for about a third of the day in this weather, but being uninsulated it only gets warmer in the house proportionate to outside temps)

Perhaps she should talk less - she is letting all the warm air out :rolleyes:

Or ... layers. I have hears of strange garments called cardigans and pullovers.

but she already mentioned if she wears a cardigan in the office but its hot outside, when she goes outside she is overheating.
you can't expect her to simply take it off whilst outside.
the same as when its raining outside you still wear your waterproof coat around the office.

A good point I had failed to consider. After all it might rain indoors if the air conditioning is on the wrong setting :p

Occurs to me she is being ageist: Menopausal women tend to be too warm and would therefore want the AC set to about 10 C. I wonder if a compromise could be set, for example 18C, or is compromise too dirty a word ?
